Then he tip-toed softly out again.,"Have they anything to do with the death of Maurice?","If you can say that again now, in cold blood, after so many hours of thought, you must be indeed heartless," says Rodney; "and"—standing up—"I may as well go.","Say, you give me a pain," cried Billy.

"No doubt some draper from the town."，A thrill of alarm gripped Billy's heart-strings. Where had Croaker disappeared to?

There was nothing interesting about Sunday School; it was the same old hum-drum over and over again—same lessons, same teachers, same hymns, same tunes; with Deacon Ringold's assertive voice cutting in above all the other voices both in lessons and singing and with Mrs. Scraff's shrill treble reciting, for her class's edification, her pet verse: "Am I nothing to thee, all ye who pass by?"—only Mrs. Scraff always improvised more or less on the scriptures, and usually threw the verse defiantly from her in this form: "You ain't nuthin to me, all you who pass me by.","Mother's handkerchief, Dido," explained Isabella, interrupting.
